The legendary Roots crew
My mind finally revolted against me. For months, I had been feeding it the same five Tom Waits albums and the occasional Nobody Beats the Beats or Jan Johansson…
However, tonight I went to see the legendary Roots Crew. And they were SO good! (or dope, I guess the right nomenclature would be). And my mind was again appeased. They just are legendary. When ?uestlove said that for all the 16-17 years the Roots have been touring, the Apollo Theater is their favorite place to perform, I actually believed him. They played the hits (the Seed was received with loud cheering and they gave a 10min. version of You Got Me) and they even played Bob Dylan’s Masters of War as a protest against the current administration (?uestlove votes Obama, he shared with us:)
It was just cool! My soul is alive again! And tomorrow I may even go see the Magnetic Fields in concert… What a weekend!
I give you the Roots: (a few years dated)
Furthermore, I’ve discovered the National and rediscovered Analogik
I feel somewhat back on track…
Watch out: my next post may turn out to be interesting for everyone interested in children (not in that way), making other people happy, football, saving the world and other fun stuff… Tune in in a couple of weeks.
